South Park to Host First Annual Halloween Dog Parade

Community event invites local pups and their families to celebrate Halloween in costume

South Park, San Diego South Park will be going to the dogs this Halloween as the neighborhood hosts its First Annual South Park Halloween Dog Parade on Friday, October 31. Local residents and dog lovers are invited to dress up their pups and join in a festive, family-friendly parade through the heart of South Park.

The event kicks off with a meet-up at 4:45 p.m. on the grass area along 28th Street between Ash and A Street. At 5 p.m. sharp, the parade will begin, meandering through neighborhood streets and concluding at the South Park Dog Park.

The parade is free and open to the public. Anyone with a costumed dog is welcome to join. Whether dressed as superheroes, spooky spirits, or silly characters, dogs of all shapes and sizes are encouraged to strut their stuff for the community to enjoy.

The South Park Halloween Dog Parade is organized by local residents Aaron and Marci Flores, along with their nine-year-old daughter Tillie and beloved dog Hermey.

“This event is all about celebrating community, creativity, and of course, our four-legged friends,” said organizer Marci Flores. “We hope neighbors will come together, dress up their pups, and make this first parade a tradition that continues for years to come.”
